“Stability has been the word to describe Q1. Landlords haven’t been leaving the sector, which is pleasing and shows that the uncertainty over the Housing Scotland Bill is being offset by the clarity over the rent cap removal. Tenants have tended to stay put rather than look for different homes; lower rental rates in long-tenanted properties being more appealing than moving to a property with a higher market rate rent. It is hoped that spring’s Q2 will see the buds of new investors start to bloom into the market.”
